Late off the mark

If you care to click through the link above (your choice; I can't say as it points to anything very pleasant) you will find Donald Douglas writing about Elizabeth Edwards, and specifically about her farewell message at Facebook.
Elizabeth Edwards left a last, farewell message on Facebook; a message of remarkable courage and grace, a message that makes every decent human being remember her with respect.
It. Is. Not. About. You.
She was not in any way obligated to use her dying words to endorse your religion. Your expectation that she should consider the feelings of the religious--and your particular brand of religion at that--first at a time like this shows a degree of self-centeredness that would be ugly in a kindergarten and is utterly out of place among adults. You use this sad time to express your feelings of bigotry and entitlement.
You should be ashamed. And your coreligionists should be ashamed of you.
And you, David Gibson. Elizabeth Edwards does not need your "charitable" reinterpretation of her remarks to make them more religious. Your attempts at "rehabilitation" are an insult to a remarkable human being who is more, not less, worthy of admiration where she refrains from the treacle of religious sentiment.
Crawl back under your respective rocks and stay there.
Me.

Still, at her death bed and giving what most folks are calling a final goodbye, Elizabeth Edwards couldn't find it somewhere down deep to ask for His blessings as she prepares for the hereafter? I guess that nihilism I've been discussing reaches up higher into the hard-left precincts than I thought.Dear Donald Douglas,
